Featuring a minimal form, the CREMA French Press® Coffee Maker by BODUM® proves that good design is indeed functional. Adhering to BODUM®'s credo of "beautiful and simple yet innovative", this French Press® coffee maker infuses your preferred coarse ground coffee with the proper water temperature to produce an exceptionally rich brew. The handle and the base protect the user and any sur face or tabletop from heat. In addition, the frame provides additional protection for the glass beaker, made of temperature safe borosilicate glass. The patented safety lid prevents liquids from squirting out of the pot.
